Virtual
Hand Therapy
Specialist CHT level initial examination to assess your condition, establish a clear diagnosis if required and provide treatment via secure video. Available to patients across Northern Ireland, the UK and internationally - with no waiting list.
Specialist expertise,
wherever you are
Ms Razo has been at the forefront of virtual Hand Therapy since its early adoption, developing structured clinical protocols that bring the same diagnostic rigour and treatment quality of an in-person appointment to a video consultation. Her experience across the NHS, private practice and international clinical education gives her the expertise to assess and treat a wide range of upper limb conditions effectively without being in the same room.
Virtual hand therapy is not a compromise. For the majority of conditions and at many stages of recovery, it is a clinically sound and highly effective way to access the highest level of specialist hand therapy care — at a time and place that suits you.
Local patients, flexible access
